But have said more than once since becoming a parent.
- Only if it’s decaf. (still breastfeeding)
- I feel great. I got four solid hours of sleep last night.
- Do you want watermelon or strawberry toothpaste?
- That is enough hand-washing. Enough. I said ENOUGH!
- No, Mommy likes to fold the laundry herself.
- Is that chocolate or poo?
- Why are my iPod earbuds plugged into a hole in the plaster?
- Oh, crap. I must have bought the wrong size. Those are huge. (5 minutes later) Oh, crap. They fit me.
- We DO NOT kiss with our tongues. Tongue kisses are yucky. Dis-gus-ting!
- No, you can’t leave the house without pants on.
Four solid hours! Congratulations – that really is worth celebrating – I always found that four hours in a row was much, much better than three and a half.
So funny! I have to enforce the Pants On in Public rule, too. We also have a saying around our house: “Don’t take your clothes off! We have company!”
yeah… i’ve got these things down as well.

i know. it’s always tough convincing the husband that pants are required at most establishments…ha….
ali’s comment was hilarious!
if it were up to my son, he’d go naked all day while my daughter wants to wear all her clothing at once.
Oh this post was hillarious. Love it. We are dealing with the tongue kissing here. My one year old is always trying to french kiss everyone. It’s really gross. But still kinda sweet.
hee! i love it. so true.
“Is that chocolate or poo?”
And what really breaks my heart is that I asked that recently too.
Daughter 1 insisted on wearing several outfits at once. I contemplated putting a sign on her, “I am not responsible for this child’s clothing choices.” Daughter 2 was naked as much as possible. I vividly recall one day she wore a beautiful pink gingham dress to the playground ,and it was onlywhen she was on top of the climbing structure that I noticed she had no underpants on. By Daughter 3, my clothing rule was: “You can wear anything you want but no long dresses and patent leather shoes on the playground if you plan to climb.”
oh, the handwashing!
Hee hee hee. One of mine: “Don’t lick your brother!”
I just said No. 5 last night. What’s wrong with me?
My children are older. My laughter is the laughter of somebody thinking how relieved I am that those days are past.
Don’t lick me!
Many of these, yours and in the comments, rang QUITE true.
4 hours. Yes. I hear you.
Yeah, I’ve dealt with the tongue kissing issue also. Funny post!
Everytime my 2 yr old bites his tongue while he is chewing his food (which seems to be all the time) he asks me to kiss it. Ick. That is one I just can’t do. Blah.
Thanks for the hilarious post!
Oh, the handwashing. And no, you can’t have any more handsoap, either!
i have definately said a few of those things in my house. Also “we don’t kiss with our teeth”
I have marked several of those off myself and I just have an 8 month old. I remember when 4 hours of sleep was heavenly. I still get a few long nights but nothing like those early days.
LOL! Now I’m trying to think of the funny things I’ve said…….
I just read these to my husband and we both got a good, hearty belly laugh out of it! Oh, so familiar.
The tongue kiss one just about made me pee my pants. Our poor husbands.
This is my first trip to your blog and I love this list!! I can so identify. Thanks for making the mundane hilarious!
